It's already happening gordon.....a lot of people have given up on the over-priced poor-quality service and are already choosing other more attractive offerings.

I'm headed to Europe next year, and despite having enough QF FF points for return fares, will not be travelling QF then, or ever again.

Gordon , absolutely.
Christine Holgate would be fantastic. She was shafted by Morrison and his band of crooked colleagues yet she ran AP very well and even franchisees and staff had posters up in their post offices saying “We stand with Christine”.

She could give the current QF management watches on her first day and say “When the big hand is in twelve and the small hand is in nine, time to f-ck off AND leave the watch behind as you exit the building!!”

Nice try TL

We are thinking of redeeming them for Woolies vouchers.

Aerial Perspective.......agree re Christine Holgate. And the idea of the watches for the QF (mis)management morons.

Yeah/nah. You'll be using those points on Qantas guaranteed.

No, we definitely won't Tossbag.

If you compare the cost of the (so-called) QF deals against other alternatives, there's no way we are going to waste the QF FF points flying Qantas, and I've now had enough bad experiences with QF to never want to fly with them again.

I'm headed back to the Land of the Rising Sun next month for the first time since Covid hit and I'm booked with Qantas.

This will be, I think, the 13th trip there and all but the first three were with Qantas, the first lot were JAL.

Must admit that the JAL trips were all great; once got a free upgrade to First Class and I didn't ask for it. It was offered to me.
But only one of the Qantas flights was, at first, looking to be not enjoyable. On one trip back home I had a pinched nerve in my back which made any twisting or cramped position sheer agony, and despite requesting a seat with suitable leg room when checking in at Narita for the flight home, I found myself in a seat right up against a bulkhead separating Cattle Class from Business with virtually no leg room whatsoever!!

As the A/C was taxiing out for departure I called to a passing Male F/A and explained my predicament. He could see from my expression that I was in severe pain and said that he thought he could do something for me. Could I please hang on until after T/O?

Shortly after T/O the F/A returned and said that he had another seat for me. It turned out to be an Exit row seat on the other side of the A/C and that I should stay there until after landing!

Needless to say, the pain levels were far more bearable. Errr... the complimentary bottles of Red that F/A ensured came my way did help somewhat...

The name of the new CEO is Hudson and her initials are VH. Dare we hope?

It's not so much the CEO that can create problems, but the Board that enables them!

I imagine there’s 23000 odd staff who just let out a collective sigh of relief that at least it wasn’t the other named front runner.

Was never going to be. For a $20b company you need to have touched finance in some form. For a $5b company perhaps not.

Jetstar still needs a CEO. Last time I checked nobody appears to be in that role?

It was always going to be a female. I wonder if any male types even applied, knowing that it would be a waste of their time?

Was surprised to read that she's been around for so long, I don't know why but I just thought she was a recent arrival.

She certainly has done the rounds re departments which is a good thing, was never front line though.

Internal Audit Supervisor > Financial Controller - Commercial Division > Qantas Catering Product Manager > General Manager Inflight Services > Executive Manager Product and Services > Executive Manager Commercial Planning > Senior Executive Vice President, The Americas > Executive Manager Sales and Distribution > Chief Customer Officer > Group Chief Financial Officer - Designate > Group Chief Financial Officer > CEO
